There was already a slight mention of this in 'He had it all', so I thought I'd write it. The opening night of Rachel's role on Broadway. I tried to include some humour. Obviously, this takes place in the same year, just a few weeks later.

Enjoy guys!


To say Finn was excited would be an understatement. He had been smiling for the past three days at the thought of watching Rachel perform in this play. He'd seen her before, playing various roles, but she'd spoken about this one like it was the best thing in the world, which it probably was for her.

And he was also pretty psyched about everyone coming on the same night. During the other shows, people came on different nights, but tonight, they were all going to be there. He'd been standing outside for ten minutes, waiting for both their parents. Everyone else had gone straight to their seats, eager to see the show, but he had to speak to the four adults before they entered.

He saw the four familiar faces making their way down the street, waving to them. They were all dressed up, the men in suits and his mum in a long evening wear dress.

"You look great," he said as he gave her a huge hug, completely towering over he.

"Thanks hunny," she smiled.

As they walked to their seats, he started up a conversation," So, where are you all staying tonight?"

Originally, they were going to stay at Finn's and Rachel's, but they were planning on moving into a new house in the next few weeks and everything was being packed into boxes.

"There's a hotel only a few blocks away from the theatre that we're staying at," Burt informed him, handing his tickets to the man at the door to be verified.

"Before we go in," Finn stopped, receiving strange glanced from the four parents," Rachel, she urm, she hasn't told anyone else that she's pregnant, and she was planning on announcing it after the show, so could you not say anything...just for tonight."

He got two nods from her fathers, who headed to sit down. Finn looked expectantly at his mum and Burt," Well?"

Carole looked to Burt, then back to him," Well, we've sort of, already told Kurt, but we won't tell anyone else. Promise."

Finn's face fell," Kurt knows?"

He sighed, hoping that he hadn't told anyone. Burt opened the door to the room, trying to figure out what seats they were in. Finn smiled when he realised that the seats Rachel had got them were in the front row. He sat down, next to Puck, glancing at the stage," How long until it starts?"

Puck looked at his watch," A few minutes. You got back just in time."

The excitement returned, and Finn could hardly sit still in his seat. He felt like a kid on Christmas morning. And as the show started, he felt himself grinning, but he didn't care if he looked like an idiot. He couldn't wait to see Rachel.

When she came onto the stage, it took him a moment to recognise her. Even under the electric-green make up, she still managed to look absolutely beautiful. When he sees the blonde woman, who's name he couldn't remember, he instantly thought about the way that Rachel and Quinn used to hate each other, drawing comparisons to the characters.

He noticed that Kurt, who was on the other side of him, would hum along with each song and he wondered how many times he'd seen this show before. Every time he glanced at Kurt, he couldn't help but wonder if he'd told anyone about Rachel.

So, leaning closer to Kurt, he plucked up the courage and asked,"Hey Kurt."

"Yes?" he whispered back.

"You know how Rachel's pregnant-"

"Thanks for telling me that by the way," he cut across sarcastically.

"We were going to tell everyone tonight," he defended himself," Yo- you haven't told anyone else have you?"

Kurt gave him a guilty look," I might have told Mercedes, but that's it! I thought that everyone else knew?"

Finn shook his head, sure that he was about to go into panic mode in the next few seconds. He focused his attention back onto the stage where there was a party scene, Rachel dancing on her own until the blonde, who is called Galinda, joins her. Her smiled, it sort of was like Quinn and Rachel's relationship.

After lots of nastiness towards each other, they finally made friends, and now are really close.

And then it came to the final song of the first act, Defying Gravity. Everyone from the glee club fondly remembered when Rachel and Kurt had had they "Diva off" to this song. Kurt, as much as he hated to admit it, had always thought she sang it amazingly well and now, there she was, singing it to hundreds of people.

When the song finished, Finn stood up clapping, realising that everyone had joined him. He looked over to her father's who were clearly filled with pride, which just made his smile grow. As everyone left for the interval, he caught up with Mercedes.

"Hey Mercedes," he smiled at her.

"Okay, I'll admit it Finn. She was good okay? Now, don't gloat," she pointed a finger at him in warning.

He laughed," No, I didn't want to talk about that. Kurt said how he'd told you about Rachel be-"

"Being knocked up?"

"Yeah," Finn nodded," Please say you haven't told anyone else."

"Well, I could say that, but I'd be lying," she said, unsure of how he'd react. Finn tried to suppress the panic, but instead just winced," Who did you tell?"

"Just Quinn and Tina," she replied, like it was no big deal. It was a big deal though.

"Rachel is gonna freak," he mumbled.

"About what?" he hadn't noticed when Tina had joined their conversation. She smiled up at him, clearly not sensing the rising distress he was feeling," You look really pale Finn."

"Oh God," he ran his hand through his hair messily," If any more people find out about the baby before Rachel tells them, I think we're going to be in trouble."

"Was it not the best idea to tell Artie then?"

Finn was pretty sure that he had a mini heart attack. Why didn't he realise that she'd tell her husband? And if Tina told Artie, then that means that Quinn probably told Puck.

"Tell Artie what?" Speaking of the devil. There was Puck, glancing at Tina curiously. Quinn, who somehow already knew what they were talking about whispered in his ear, and the realisation dawned on his face.

"Congrats by the way man. I have no idea why you waited so long," he commented, though Finn wasn't listening. His head was fully of panic, and anxiety, and he knew that if Rachel found out, she'd wouldn't be the happiest person.

"Does everyone know?" he meant for it to come out like a normally, but it was on the verge of a scream, and everyone turned to look at him.

"Way to be subtle," Puck smirked from beside him," Oh, and I told Matt and Mike. Didn't wanna leave them out of the secret."

"Great," Finn said sarcastically," So, everyone knows about Rachel being pregnant, but she doesn't know that anyone knows, except for our parents, and she wanted to tell everyone tonight."

"Tough break. What are you gonna do?"

Finn gave him a look," What am I going to do? You're all just going to have to act surprised when she tells you."

"Why can't you just tell her that we all found out?" Artie stared at Finn confused.

"Ohh, she'll get all emotional. Pregnancy is making her, like, really crazy," Finn replied, earning himself a smack on the head from Quinn," Don't you dare call pregnant women crazy!"

"Fine, fine," he held his hands up, "I'm sorry, okay? Could any of you guys tell her?"

"She's your wife," Kurt smirked," You have to face up to it."

"Ladies and Gentlemen, Act 2 is about to begin," the voice came over the speakers. In that split second, everyone seemed to forget about Finn's problems, and they all returned to their seats. He sat through the entire second act just watching Rachel whenever she was on, wondering how she's going to react when he tells her.

The second act finished way faster than he thought it would, and he found himself outside Rachel's dressing room, everyone in tow. He gave three loud knocks, with it instantly being opened and his small wife flinging into his arms.

"What did you think Finn? Did you like it? What was your favourite song? I hope that you were paying attention because I'm going to be quizzing you on the way home. It's so exciting isn't it? I can't believe that I made it onto Broadway," he laughed as she changed from one thing to another, leading her into the room. At least she was on a high from performing. Maybe it would be a little easier that way.

Everyone else followed after, slowly filling the three sofas she had in there, all wondering why she needed them. The room was big, especially for one person. The dressing table was filled with flowers of all shapes and sizes, and the mirror had a huge gold star across the top, inside saying Rachel Berry. Although she was officially Rachel Hudson, that was he stage name.

"I'm so glad you all came," she smiled, greeting her parents first. Small conversations sparked up between little groups as she returned to Finn, giving him a huge kiss.

"What was that for?" he asked, finding that her mood was putting him in a better mood.

She shrugged, giggling a little," I don't know. I just felt like it. Do you have a problem with that?"

From the seat where he was, he pulled her onto his lap, pressing his lips to her neck," Not at all."

With all the energy in the world, Rachel jumped up off her lap, clapping her hands in order to get everyone's attention," Guys, I have an announcement I'd like to make."

Finn placed his head in his hands, not before catching the worried looks of everyone else. He realised that he had to tell her, despite whether she'd get angry or not.

"Rach," he said softly, seeing her turn around with the smile still intact,"They all know already."

Her face fell. He hated doing that to her and now, he was just filled with guilt.

"Everyone?" she pouted. Slowly, he nodded," You're such a blabber mouth Finn!"

After the words came out of her mouth, everyone laughed, though Finn was still in a state of shock. She wasn't shouting ... at all.

I-I thought you'd be angry, or upset, or something," he told her. She shook her head, a small tear in her eye," Ordinarily yes, but I don't care. I'm just happy."

And when she began crying, Finn wrapped his arms around her and whispered in her ear. She laughed when he started blaming Kurt, slapping his chest playfully," Don't blame other people, you muppet."

He grinned, kissing her forehead," Love you babe, and our baby, the one who lives there."

His hand held her baby bump, which had only just started to show.

"So," Quinn elongated the 'so', grinning at the couple," is it a boy or a girl?"

"It's a boy," Finn said.

"You so have to name him after me," Puck told them, making everyone laugh.

"And risk him becoming a delinquent. No thank you," she gave him a look that said not-in-a-million-years.

Tina spoke next," Seriously though, what are you going to name him yet?"

"Do we have to have a name already?" Finn asked, wondering when his friends got so pushy.

"Yes!" they all chorused.

This is going to be one long night he thought to himself.

Definitely not as good as yesterday's but still fun to write. If anyone wants me to write a certain point in their lives, just ask. I'd be happy to oblige :)
